Durop  

Definition

  • Durop, also known as Ododop or Erorop, is an Upper Cross River language of Nigeria. It is widely referred to as Korop, though this is actually an ethnonym. Durop is closely related to Kiong. It belongs to the Benue-Congo subgroup, which is classified within the Volta-Congo primary branch. Like Bantu and Bantoid languages, Durop has a noun class system, a characteristic feature of languages belonging to the Atlantic–Congo lineage, the largest demonstrated language family in Africa.
